I believe several different printings were done throughout the season, as many of the more popular players have several different cropping or name placement variations. Postcards were also sold as individual postcards or sets through the Orioles.
I have 50 of the 51 known postcards. A few years ago, a new Elrod Hendricks postcard was found. It appeared to have been cut from a sheet. It's the only known copy, so it's unlikely it was ever distributed to fans and probably part of a sample sheet from the printers.

Hey, 50 out of 51 isn't bad at all... So, someone has that Elrod; do you know who and is it obtainable?!?
So, the next question would be do you like the B&W postcards OR the color postcards better?
